Property description & features

  • Exceptional rural plot of land
  • Water and electricity on site
  • Idyllic surroundings
  • Plethora of wildlife and wonderful walks
  • Approximately 0.11 acres

An exceptional rural plot with idyllic surroundings, a plethora of wildlife and wonderful walks to be enjoyed from the doorstep. The land is accessed via a metal field gate which leads to a farm track which follows the Dowal Burn to the plot. Beyond the track is a field path which leads to the village. The plot was formerly the site of Rowan Cottage, a single storey non-traditional 3-bedroom cottage, which was demolished in 2022. The site has been cleared and carefully tended to and enjoyed as a much-loved rural retreat, with a summerhouse overlooking the magnificent flora and fauna of the area. Through the woodland there are stunning views of Dunoon and the Isle of Arran. The demolition of the former cottage was granted under Permitted Development Rights, the planning reference was 21/02434/ PNDEM on the Argyll & Bute planning portal. Replacement of the cottage or change of use is subject to obtaining the necessary consents.


Cove is located on a very desirable peninsula with an abundance of wildlife and a rich architectural heritage. The plot itself is nestled amidst majestic great Oaks, Rowan Trees, and thriving natural fauna, offering undisturbed beauty and serenity in nature. The soothing Dowal Burn meanders along the peripheries, attracting a regular visit from a graceful Heron. Birdwatchers will delight in sightings of Buzzards, Kites, Peregrines, Sparrowhawks, and other raptors that frequent this secluded haven.

The area is popular with those seeking a richer quality of life. The commute to Glasgow by road is approximately 1 hour in normal driving conditions. Glasgow Airport can be reached in approximately 50 minutes under normal driving conditions. Kilcreggan has its own primary school with the local secondary school in the nearest town of Helensburgh. Helensburgh has excellent local shopping, swimming, gym, golf course and sailing at Cove Sailing Club and nearby Rhu Marina. Loch Lomond and its famous Golf Club are approximately 20 miles distant from the property.
